Now for my overall opinion... First of all, I love the brush. It's wide enough to paint quickly and move onto the next nail. I did have some difficulties painting around the cuticles and sides. It wasn't because of the brush but more so the consistency. Secondly, I love the bottle. It's easy to grab with my left hand while painting with my right. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it has Hello Kitty on the top. It's like cherry on top. It adds a special touch to the packaging. Third, the consistency is in-between medium to thick. Since it's slightly thick, it got a little lumpy as I kept painting my nails. For that reason, I had to paint quickly especially the second layer. From the thickness, it made it difficult to paint around the cuticles and sides. Then again, this could possibly just be me. I'm not the best when it comes to painting nails. With that said, it went on a little lumpy but it was fixable with the top coat. It smoothed it out. There were no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, the color is gorgeous. I never was a pink person until couple of years ago. Now I look forward to it which is odd. Maybe it has to do with age. It's a great all year round color but I prefer for spring/summer season. Even though it's still consider winter, I've been wanting spring/summer colors on my nails. With that said, the color is not unique. You can find this color in every brand. Lastly, I didn't see any shrinkage whatsoever. I did see slight chipping on the fifth day. Usually, most of the chipping happens as the tips but this chipped everywhere. I saw slight chipping on the tips and around the cuticles.
